πWelcome
Mint.. Grow.. Drink. Bored Grapes!
General Info
A group of boring Web2 professionals, hardcore wine enthusiasts and an award-winning winemaker came together to create a new type of wine club for Web3.
Bored Grapes is a "Grow to Drink" experience for Wine Enthusiasts and NFT Collectors.
Why Bored Grapes?
Our goal is to reward members with the highest quality wine through a completely new approach.
By utilizing Web3 and NFTs, we're able to create a new business model for purchasing and collecting high quality wine (and spirits). Let's get into it!
Traditional distribution methods look like this...
Winemaker - sells a bottle to a wholesale distributor for $60
Distributor - sells that bottle to a liquor store or restaurant for $120
Liquor Store - sells that bottle to a customer for $200
Restaurant - sells that bottle to a customer for $300
A winemaker typically spends over a year producing a bottle of wine, but as you can see, they make the least amount of profit in the supply chain.
We want to change this by using Web3 to create a new type of direct-to-customer model.
This creates an opportunity for winemakers to sell their wine into a community of wine enthusiasts, at a price that works better for everyone. Winemakers get the profit they deserve for their hard work and our members get access to cheaper prices on high quality wine (and spirits).
Bored Grapesβ’
We needed a badass name and a place to set up shop - what better place than the Metaverse?
"Bored Grapes" is a play on the well known "Bored Apes" or Bored Ape Yacht Club.
One of our founders and a few of our partners are BAYC owners, and we believe Yuga Labs has created a high quality standard for the space. We looked at various Metaverse projects to build our story and it was pretty clear that we should be operating within the Yuga Labs ecosystem.
We're building the first vineyard in "The Otherside" Metaverse, called Vinum Estate, where we will be hosting digital events for our members.
Grow To Drink
Bottles + Grapes = Wine
Collect your bottles, grow your grapes and then combine them to redeem a bottle of wine.
Our wine is made and bottled by one of our founders, Nicholas Keeler, from the Authentique Wine Cellars in Oregon (USA). We're launching with a special collection of the finest bottles of wine in the world, rated in the top 1-2% by actual customers.
Bored Grapes membership includes access to exclusive bottle drops and a marketplace to purchase exceptional wines from all over the world, we'll get into those juicy details later!
We're on mission to make wine not boring.
Launch Strategy
We're launching with a series of collections and mint drops. Each one builds on our strategy to increase community engagement and brand awareness as we set up shop in the metaverse.
Empty Bottles - Free Mint
"Supplies" will be a collection of assorted empty bottles, corks and barrels.
Grape Vines - Paid Mint
"Grape Vines" allow you to grow grapes and create a physical wine redemption.
Winemaking Experience
Our Web3 winemaking experience mirrors the physical winemaking process. You'll need supplies and some grapes to combine them to make a full bottle of high quality Bored Grapes wine.
Each full bottle of Bored Grapes wine is produced from:
1 Empty Bottle NFT
8 Clusters of Grapes (112 Grapes)
Once you have your empty bottles and corks, you'll stake your grape vines to grow your grapes. Each type of grape vine produces a specific amount of grapes per week, depending on the rarity. Rarity defines how fast your grapes will grow, and how quick you receive your physical wine.
Once you've grown eight clusters of grapes, then you can harvest your grapes and combine them with your bottles and a cork to create a full bottle of Bored Grapes wine. Each full bottle NFT can be used to redeem a physical bottle of Bored Grapes wine on our website.
Why eight clusters of grapes?
It typically takes eight clusters of grapes to make a real bottle of wine. We want our experience to be fun and educational to teach our community about the winemaking experience. Our members will follow the same steps as real winemakers to produce their own wine redemptions.
Bored Grapes - Members Only Club
Once you redeem your Bored Grapes wine, your NFT will change into a membership card and give you lifetime access to everything we do in the future. We've got exciting partnerships planned and will be granting token-gated access to all sorts of cool events and experiences around the world.
Each of our members will use a "Grow to Drink" experience to get the first edition bottle of Bored Grapes wine, plus deep discounts on future bottle drops and exclusive access to all of our events.
